Anthropological studies of lived Christianity move beyond questions of whether Christianity oppresses or liberates women. Anthropologists, instead, seek to understand how Christianity shapes the way women and men understand oppression and freedom and the way they envision their gendered roles. This entry outlines anthropological insights into the way in which Christian missions have transformed gender roles and domestic relationships; the complexity of gendered religious experience and the intersection between men's and women's moral worlds; and the paradoxical intersection of feminism and Pentecostalism, which some argue empowers women by domesticating men
